I've been reloading the 10mm off and on for the past 20+ years. Case life has been as good as any other cartridge. I've loaded for stock Glocks, one with a Barsto and a Smith 1006, right now I'm loading for two Dan Wesson 1911's a 4.25" and 5"
For full power loads I like Accurate Arms data from their 5.0 pdf file, which you get download from their website. After one full power application I've been loading mild 165 gr. and 180 gr. FMJ's with a low dose of Win 231, these loads are running about 1000 fps and 975 fps respectively and the wife and I can shoot these all day which works for me. AA9 and AA7 are giving me excellent full power loads with 155, 165, 180 and 200 gain Gold dots and XTP's when I can find them. I don't load my 10 guns to "nuclear" levels, I've never seen the need. Book loads with AA data and powder has been sufficient.
My woods load is a Beartooth Bullet 200 gr. WFNGC with 8.2 grains of 800x, this gives me 1130 fps from my 4.25" Commander, I believe book max for a 200 gr. FMJ with 800x is 7.8 grains or so. I've been following the Glock Talk 10 ring guys for years and this would be considered a very, very mild load by comparison from what they do with 800x. Doesn't mean it's safe, just an FYI for reference. Personally I think some of the guys over there and on the newer 10mm website are pretty good handloaders, and then some are not. When I get around to it I intend to work up this load with AA9, 800x is just a PIA and each load MUST be hand weighed, the flakes are huge and don't meter well at all. Not to mention one needs to go off the books to get decent velocity which I'd rather not do. A caution on the BTB as well, it is an extremely wide bullet and requires extra attention to detail when loading, my 1911 chambers are tight, the above load at 1.250" has proven ok in both my pistols, new starline and cci-300s. But they will only feed in Tripp's Magazines.
Hornady 10mm loading info, I would use extreme caution, some of their loads are "snappy" as a lab rep at Accurate Arms recently described them to me, personally I would never, ever load as high as some Hornady data suggests, that goes for 9mm and AA loads too. My experience with Hornady info is from their 4th and 7th edition. I love Hornady products, but suspect some of their published load data. Which of course is why we always cross reference.
In my opinion the 10mm is a hand loaders dream, and the least appreciated auto loader cartridge out there, you can run 135 gr. to 220 grains, from 850 to over 1600 fps. If I had any one recommendation it would be to stock up on 500-1000 pieces of new Starline brass colored brass when you can get your hands on it. One other thing, initially I had some issues with an RCBS sizer die, not correctly sizing my 40 and 10mm brass, it drove my nuts for awhile, I've switched to Lee dies and the issue was resolved, I suspect the RCBS sizer is incorrectly sized, one of these days I'll mail it off for a new one.
With new full power loads I always load some dummies and test, and retest for any potential setback, correct neck tension is your friend and best found out with a dummy round Some of the factory brass I've collected over the years is thinner than others.
Any load data I've provided is from and old mans memory and I'm on my first cup of coffee as I quickly type this, ALL DATA IS SUSPECT AND ONLY WORKS IN MY GUNS. Do your own due diligence.
Good luck and enjoy!
